  • A Metro newspaper on a London underground tube train seat with the Olympic ambassador and rioter story on page 1. This free paper given to tube and rail commuters features the story of an Olympic ambassador, a teenage girl chosen to represent the 2012 Olympiad but who was found to have looted a small business herself. Over a four-day period in August 2011, Britain was held in the grip of social and criminal unrest when the (mostly) young went on the rampage, looting and stealing from shops and stores. In total 6 people died but many of hundreds of small businesses was ransacked for their stock. Desirable clothing accessories from sports shops as well as food and alcohol were rifled from convenience stores. Approximately 3,000 arrests were made across cities and towns across the Uk – mostly in London.

  • A detail of an anonymous young man's head on a backstreet in Hackney. Blue shutters similar to those on many small businesses are in the background and their horizontal stripes contrast with the youth's hair, which we see from the rear to ensure his anonymity. His head is closely cropped and we see his ears and dark skin from either mixed-race ethnicity of North African.
